Some patches are just announcements of experimental work, etc.  (eg
hfs).  I do apply bug fixes.  I don't think anyone decided not to send

They also don't have to modify partitions.  If you move the start of a
partition, and the boot loader uses legacy BIOS interrupts, you must
know the legacy BIOS geometry.
